1 Irresistible Italy! Rome, Tuscany, Florence, Venice with Women of Nebraska! WO MEN OF N EBRASKA Travel Solo Together September 17-28, 2019 Dear Women of Nebraska. How many of us have dreamt about one day going to Italy? Russian poet, Anna Akhmatova, once said, Italy is a dream that keeps returning for the rest of your life. The Bel Paese (beautiful country), with its irresistible charm, is a destination that has always been on the bucket list of thousands of travelers. And now it is a dream-turned-reality! We have put together an amazing tour, designed uniquely for women! This is your chance of a lifetime to make your dream come true! We will start in the historic city of Rome and tour all the greats: The Colosseum, Forum, Trevi Fountain, and of course the Vatican City, St. Peter s Basilica, and the Sistine Chapel. From there we travel to Assisi, and follow in the footsteps of St. Francis. This town, known for its history of universal love and interfaith-religious pilgrimage, hosts the oldest Gothic church in Europe, and has a 1st century BC Roman Temple. The Basilica of St. Francis is one of the most visited religious sites in all of Italy. We will travel amongst hamlets scattered throughout picturesque Tuscany, a region known for its simple elegance and harmony amidst family vineyards, wineries, cheese makers, century old farms and a breathtaking landscape. Take part in a cooking class, with wine and olive oil tastings! We also visit Florence, the Renaissance Wonderland, home to the treasures and art of the Old Masters, such as da Vinci and Michelangelo. And finally, Venice! Alexander Herzen, a Russian writer, wrote this about Venice: To build a city where it is impossible to build a city is madness in itself, but to build there one of the most elegant and grandest of cities is the madness of genius. We will spend part of our days on the islands of Murano - the glass-maker s paradise, and Burano known as the Island of hand-made lace! Come, join me, solo or two-by-two as we travel through the boot to experience what Italy is so famous for. You too, will realize that one of your biggest dreams has finally come true! La vita e un sogno Life is a dream! Sincerely yours, Barb Wallingford Women of Nebraska Ambassador Call Executive Travel s Group Department today at Space is limited.

September 18, 2019 Wednesday - Rome Welcome to Rome! Upon arrival we meet our private tour guide and take a short drive to the center of Rome to enjoy a classic movie-lovers walking tour through the most amazing movie settings in Rome. This is a unique chance to experience Federico Fellini s classic La Dolce Vita (The Sweet Life) and the take in the atmosphere of the famous movie Eat, Pray, Love. See for yourself the top sites in Rome including restaurants, fountains, piazza (squares), and neighborhoods featured in the books and movies. Retrace the footsteps of Elizabeth, played by Julia Roberts, who spends her time in Rome searching for beauty and exploring Italian food. Your first day in Rome will be celebrated with an amazing welcome dinner at a very special restaurant...for movie-lovers only! B (during flight) D September 19, 2019 Thursday - Rome After a hearty breakfast, we are ready to step back in time and visit Ancient Rome, including the Roman Forum and the Colosseum. Its real name was the Flavian Amphitheatre after the emperors who built it in the first century AD. Colosseum refers to the colossal statue of Nero that at one time stood at the entrance. A fun afternoon awaits. Love Italian food? Today we will make fresh pasta and tiramisu with secret recipes straight from nonna (grandmother)! A truly unique experience as we learn to create fresh pasta with our favorite flavors, topped with a selection of Italian cheeses... and love! Held in a 17th century Palazzo near Piazza Navona, this interactive class is lead by our enthusiastic Italian chef. We will complete our cooking experience by making Italy s numero uno dessert; tiramisu! Layered with delicious cream, coffee, sugar and cocoa, it s no wonder that tiramisu is so sought-after.

B L September 22, 2019 Sunday - Tuscany The morning is dedicated to olive oil! After breakfast, we take a short drive to Reggello for a tour of the Santa Te a Olive Oil Mill.

Today, the Santa Te a Olive Oil Mill represents one of the most advanced realities in the world, both from the qualitative and technological point of view. Light lunch is served at a local farm, before we take a walking tour of a nearby medieval town, San Gimignano. Fortified walls and watchtowers show power and prosperity in the middle Ages, though only 13 of the town s original 76 towers still remain.
